If you're a 'Roo regular, you surely tuned in earlier today when the lineup for Bonnaroo 2013 was revealed online via video greetings from Daniel Tosh and "Weird Al" Yankovic, both of whom will appear.

But in case you missed it, Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers top the bill for the annual gathering in Manchester, Tenn., slated for June 13-16. Other potential highlights include Björk, Wilco, R. Kelly, the National, David Byrne & St. Vincent, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, ZZ Top and Billy Idol.

That's enough of an eclectic mix to appeal to those disenchancted with this spring's deep but not very well-capped Coachella roster. Then again, there are several acts who will appear at both festivals, among them Pretty Lights, Wu-Tang Clan, the Lumineers, the xx, Passion Pit, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Purity Ring, Of Monsters and Men, Divine Fits, Foals, Tame Impala, Local Natives, Alt-J, Father John Misty, Earl Sweatshirt, Japandroids and Portugal. The Man.

Some names that the 'Roo boasts that won't be in Indio: Animal Collective, Glen Hansard, Cat Power, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, Dirty Projectors, A$AP Rocky, Baroness, Swans, Cults, Calexico, Amadou & Mariam and Jim James, who in addition to his own set will lead the late-night Superjam, also featuring John Oates, Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and more.
